Grad Hair 102

Its still grad and prom week! and as promised here are five more sexy styles perfect for graduation and prom!  

The Bump

How to Get the Look:
Step 1: To create some volume on top, curl the roots of your hair in two-inch sections just once around a large-barrel curling iron. Curl the entire section between your hairline and crown, from temple to temple.
Step 2: For even more fullness, tease the roots of the hair you just curled with a mixed-bristle brush. Then use the same brush to smooth out some hair over it.
Step 3: To keep your bump from deflating, take a two-inch section of hair above each ear, twist it, and secure with bobby pins in the back of your head, below your crown. Use a light hairspray so your twist will stay in place and to tame flyaways.

Twisted Bun

How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Make a deep left-side part and gather the top section of hair from your forehead to your crown. Apply a squirt of texturizing spray, and then roll the hair away from your part to form a tight twist. Hold the twist tightly while you grab an elastic.
Step 2: Pull the rest of your hair into a low pony behind your left ear, and secure the ends of your twist in the ponytail too. Separate the pony into two sections. Twirl one section into a twist, and wrap it around the elastic to make a small bun, leaving the hair in the other section loose.
Step 3: Pin the ends of the small bun against the back of your head. Next twirl the rest of your loose hair into a twist, and wrap it around the outside of the smaller bun; pin the ends underneath. Smooth flyaways with a dab of 

Glam Braids

How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Keep hair in place by creating a deep side part, then use a mixed bristle brush to smooth down flyaways and frizz.
Step 2: Apply a small amount of pomade to your fingers to give shine and hold to the braid. Start French-braiding a three-inch piece of hair at the full side of your part.
Step 3: Pull the rest of your hair into a low side ponytail. Wrap the ponytail around its base to form a bun. Secure with bobby pins.
Step 4: Hold your style in place with a mist of light-hold hairspray. Apply a little extra on the braid to keep it from unraveling.

Boho Braids

How to Get the Look:
Step 1: Blow-dry hair straight to make it easier to braid. Part your hair in the center.
Step 2: Separate out a 1-inch section on both sides of part — two inches back from hairline. Take a 2-inch piece above each ear, and clip out of the way. Pull the rest of hair into a low bun. Bobby-pin it against the nape of neck, and tuck in the ends.
Step 3: Braid each of the top sections down; pin the ends into your bun. Then braid the side sections over the top of your head. Pin the ends against your head, and smooth them with pomade.

Romantic Ringlets

How to Get the Look:
Step 1: For perfect pin curls no matter what your texture, wrap three-inch pieces of damp hair around your finger as if it were a curling iron; slide finger out and pin curls to your head.
Step 2: Remove the pins, then define your curls by scrunching a golf-ball-size amount of Dagger & Arrow GELI to define clurs.
